I'd like to see something official. Many Czech firms, first of which CSG did undertake many contracts as subcontractors, even as main contractors for Roketsan. It's possible that this was a reexport or something like that.

Military sales are to Czechia probably gets funneled to Ukraine who already uses and is familiar with Igla. And we get to replace our old stocks Sungur
We never had Igla in service. 65 of anything is also probably higher than what we ever captured from PKK. Maybe coupled with what's retrieved from Syria and caught arms dealers etc.

Not necessarily for us but we bought Soviet/russian arms and gave them to Libya and Syrian rebels so maybe something like that?

Turkey purchased these from KBM Kolomna in the 1990s, approximately 40 launchers and 300 missiles, likely stockpiled for system testing and independent use in different regions.

For example, instead of sending Stinger missiles to the FSA in a potential offensive against Assad, Igla missiles might have been provided. Igla missiles were preferred in similar off-the-record situations because Stinger missiles were periodically monitored by American experts.

Now that we possess an effective system like the Sungur, our older systems are likely being phased out.
